“Water water everywhere try to save it if you care”. Nowadays, water shortage is unavoidable. In any means, water is the source of life and part of our daily life. Prevention is one of the solutions and the kabo challenge is one of the best ideas on dealing with it. It is very overwhelming once you try it. You don’t only save water, you also save life. So what are you waiting for? Try the 15 kabo challenge now and together let us live life a whole lot better.

1. At first I thought it would be weird to use only 15 dippers of water, but after I finished doing the task, it felt accomplishing. Knowing that I could do so much with just 15 dippers of water, I felt confident that I can apply it and make it a daily routine. I felt like I already helped Mother Earth with just one small gesture. 2. Yes, this is something I can do long-term since it’s easy and applicable. 3. For me, as early as now, we should be taking preventive and proactive measurements against water shortages. At this very moment some areas in our country are experiencing water shortages. And it is just appropriate that we help lessen this issue by doing our part and minimize too much use of water. In any way that we can, we must do our best to conserve and reuse water, may it be in our home, school, office and public areas.

3. In the future, with the amount of shortages we have when it comes to water, limiting your water consumption may be inevitable. What are your thoughts on this? - We should start conserving our water right now and it should be everyone’s responsibility in order for us to conserve our water so that sooner or later we will not regret that we did not conserve our water and so that we will not go to the point that everyone is starving for water. There is the saying that “Every drop counts”.

       It feels like I’m saving mother earth by contributing to small things in our community like this experiment. Before I did this experiment, I didn’t think I can bathe in fifteen or less than 15 scoops of “kabo” because normally, I bathe around 20 minutes but that already includes taking a dump of contemplating about life. It also feels good because I can save water and lessen the expenses that my parents are paying. This is really something you can do in a long-term basis because now that you think about it, it is really possible and also beneficial to you, your parents, and mother earth. We never know what will happen in the future so practicing this can help you in the long run because you already know and have experienced it. I think other people should do this too because even though 2/3 or 70% of this earth is H20 or water, only 2.5% of it is fresh and just 1% of the freshwater in this world is easily accessible because most of the freshwater are currently trapped in glaciers or snowfields.

As I took a bath last three days, using only 10 scoops of kabu, I can conclude that it’s not easy. Especially when you are used of using unlimited scoops of kabu. At first it is really hard, there’s still shampoo in my hair when I reached 9 scoops already. However, I feel great because somehow I conserve water. And it is really a good thing and a good practice to start with, in helping our nature. And I’m planning to maintain this kind of practice wherein I need to limit the number of scoops I will use when I take a bath. And I will try my very best to be consistent with this. And we all know, time will come wherein we need to limit our water consumption in order for us to survive. For me, it’s a good thing that starting now we need to conserve water and make some solutions so that there will be enough water for us humans and other living organisms in the future.
